Hopefully they do recycle them. To answer the initial question, it is possible to recycle the paper in these books. I believe they can take such material at the city drop off points: http://www.kcmo.org/pubworks.nsf/web/recycledropoff?opendocument There's one at Metro North Mall that I use that I'm all but certain could take it. Hope this helps, Sean Crago/MrZaius

OT: Old Computer Book Recycling?
by Leo Mauler 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

I've come to the realization that I should be clearing out quite a lot of older books off my shelves. While I could just haul the lot off to a thrift store and be done with it, I'm sitting here looking at the books and thinking "how are they going to sell these?" I don't want to just shift the problem onto someone else, and certainly not a charitable organization I already think has way too much work. Of course, stuffing them into a landfill isn't much better. Books like "Teach Yourself Macintosh in 24 Hours: Covers System 8!", "Adobe Photoshop 2.5 - Classroom in a Book", and "Quick Guide To CorelDraw 5!", will not fly off the shelves, not even off the shelves of thrift stores. Does anyone know of a paper recycler which will handle the plastic-like paper of computer books? I'm looking at a trunk full of these books and I'd like to be able to take them somewhere where the contents or the paper will do some good. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss an email again!

Framing web pages
by Jonathan Hutchins 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

I have a client who is concerned that there are other web sites that are taking his content and placing it within frames on their web site as if it were their own. I know I've seen this happen, and I think I've seen "click here if someone has this site framed" buttons or some such. Does anyone know of a way to prevent the pages from being grabbed in a frame to begin with?
